                                                 Net Sales which are less
                                                 than or equal to Baseline
                                                 Sales,1 and 26% of
                                                 Incremental Sales


Commencing with the calendar year following      10% on that portion of the Net
the Partial Year Period and continuing           Sales which are less than or
thereafter, through and  including               equal to Baseline Sales,

                                                 Sales

January, 2000                                    9% of total Net Sales

February, 2000                                   8% of total Net Sales

          the  Baseline  Sales  for the first 12 months  following  the  Product
          Launch Date was $10  million  and the Product  Launch Date was January
          31, 1997, the Baseline Sales for the Partial Year Period only would be
          equal to $9,150,000 (10 million x 334/365).

          Commission  Rate  for  Incremental  Sales  shall  be 27% and it  shall
          increase  by one (1)  percentage  point each year  therefore  until it
          reaches the level of 30% at which time it shall remain constant.
